Fighting Courage (1925)

Richard Kingsley, son of a financier, trying to aid Marjorie Crenshaw and her sister during a raid on a New York roadhouse, is arrested. His father, enraged by the bad publicity, threatens to disinherit him if he doesn't go to Colorado in search of a mine. While traveling west, Richard meets a group of chorus girls and has his pocket picked by their manager. Without funds, he continues on foot; he meets Kinkaid, a bandit who has stolen $5,000 from Marjorie Crenshaw's father. Richard recognizes that Kinkaid's horse is the one stolen from his father and demands it be returned. Kinkaid gives him the horse but forces Richard to exchange clothes with him. Now mistaken for Kinkaid, Richard must flee from the posse but first uses altruistically the $5,000 he finds in Kinkaid's clothing. Kinkaid, missing the money, backtracks in search of Dick but instead meets Marjorie, whom he tries to seduce. Richard arrives in time to save her and takes her home, where her father believes him to be the bandit who robbed him. All complications are straightened out when Richard's father arrives and identifies his son; Dick discovers the mine; and Marjorie discovers that she loves Dick.
